Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to improvements in screw-type dental implants and, in particular, to dental implants having a roughened surface topography and methods of making the same.
- Dental implants are often comprised of metal and metal alloys, including titanium (Ti) and titanium alloys.
- Ti titanium
- the dental implant serves as an artificial root that integrates with the gingiva and the bone tissue of the mouth.
- osseointegration For the dental implant to function successfully, sufficient osseointegration is required. In other words, a bond between the implant and the bone must be formed and retained.
- the surface of the implant may be roughened to help enhance the osseointegration process.
- processes for roughening an implant surface include acid etching, grit blasting, or a combination thereof, which impart roughness on the surface.
- Roughening the surface of an implant can lead to a compromise in the integrity of the implant's cutting geometry. More specifically, roughening the crests of the implant's thread can lead to rolling the edge of the crests and/or eroding the peaks of the crests. Additionally, roughening of the crests can change the machined macrogeometry (or thread features) intended to initially stabilize the implant. Robust initial stability is a requirement for long-term stability (permanent fixation of the implant), and without it, the implant can be more susceptible to non integration or even loss of integration, both of which generally require implant retrieval. Furthermore, the change in macrogeometry can alter the tactile feedback felt by a clinician during implant placement.
- An implant for implantation into bone tissue includes an elongated body.
- the elongated body has an upper portion configured to receive a prosthesis and a lower portion for being submerged in the bone tissue.
- the elongated body of the implant also includes an outer surface.
- the implant also includes at least one thread on the outer surface of the body. The thread makes a number of turns around the body between the upper and lower portions and includes a root, a flank, and a crest. The root and a segment of the flank have a roughened portion compared to the crest.
- another implant for implantation into bone tissue includes at least one thread.
- the thread makes a number of turns around the implant.
- the implant also includes a roughened portion adjacent to a root of the thread, and the roughened portion extends along a length of the implant while a crest of the thread remains relatively smooth.
- a method of forming an implant having a threaded outer surface including a root, a flank, and a crest includes treating the threaded outer surface. More specifically, the method includes treating the threaded outer surface at only the root and a portion of the flank while the crest remains untreated.

- FIG. 9 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of forming an implant according to an implementation of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of an implant 10 according to a first implementation.
- the implant 10 may, for example, be made of titanium or alloys thereof.
- FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5 which are discussed below, describe alternative implant designs that may also be used according to certain implementations of the disclosed subject matter.
- the implant 10 has an elongated body.
- the top of the elongated body includes a head portion 12 , which includes a non-rotational boss 14 .
- the boss 14 is hexagonal.
- the boss 14 is configured to be engageable with a tool that screws the implant 10 into bone tissue.
- the boss 14 is also used for non-rotationally engaging a correspondingly-shaped socket on a restorative or prosthetic component (e.g., an abutment with a tooth-shaped crown attached thereto) that is attached to the implant 10 .
- the head portion 12 also includes a collar 16 .
- a threaded bottom portion 20 facilitates bonding with bone or gingiva.
- the threaded bottom portion 20 includes a thread 22 that makes a plurality of turns around the implant 10 .
- the turns are typically in a helical pattern, as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the threaded bottom portion 20 may include multiple threads, so as to define a multi-lead thread.
- each of the turns of the thread 22 includes a root region, a flank region and a crest region.
- the root region of a turn in the thread 22 is located at a minor diameter with respect to a central axis of the implant 10
- the crest region is located at a major diameter with respect to the central axis of the implant 10 .
- the flank region is the surface connecting the root and the crest regions.
- the crest region provides primary stability for the implant 10 by ensuring a secure mechanical connection between the implant 10 and the bone or gingiva. Different implementations of the root, flank and crest regions will be described in detail with respect to FIGS. 7A-7C and 8A-8C .
- the threaded bottom portion 20 may further include a self-tapping region 24 with incremental cutting edges that allows the implant 10 to be installed without the need for a bone tap.
- the thread 22 includes a roughened portion 30 .
- the roughened portion 30 can aid in the osseointegration process by improving the integration between bone or gingiva and the implant 10 . This improved integration provides a secondary level of stability for the implant.
- the roughened portion 30 may be generated using a variety of techniques including, for example, acid etching, grit blasting, or a combination thereof. As described below, the preferred roughening technique is grit blasting. As illustrated in FIG. 1 , the roughened portion 30 is located on the root and flank regions of the thread 22 , but not on the crest regions. A transition region from the roughened portion to the relatively smoother surface occurs along the thread's flank regions between the root and crest regions.
- the transition region includes a portion of varying roughness in the direction of the crest.
- the transition region includes a portion of decreasing roughness in the direction of the crest. That is, the transition region decreases in roughness as it approaches the relatively smooth crest.
- the self-tapping region 24 of the implant 10 is relatively smooth compared to the roughened portion 30 .
- a transition point between the roughened portion 30 and the relatively smooth surface of the crest can be chosen to minimize interference with the surface of the crest regions while maximizing osseointegration with the roughened portions on the root and flank regions.
- different transition points can be chosen for different thread geometries.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an implant 110 that differs in physical features from the implant 10 of FIG. 1 to allow it to extend through the gingiva.
- the threads of the implant 110 are in a helical pattern.
- the implant 110 also includes an elongated middle section 112 that is relatively smooth compared to the roughened portion 130 . Similar to the self-tapping region 24 of FIG. 1 , the self-tapping region 124 illustrated in FIG. 2 is also relatively smooth compared to the roughened portion 130 .
- the implant 110 also differs from the implant 10 in the details of the roughened portion 130 . More specifically, the roughened portion 130 extends up a smaller portion of the flank regions of the implant 110 compared to the roughened portion 30 of the implant 10 of FIG. 1 .
- the transition point between the roughened portion and the relatively smooth surface of the implant 110 can be chosen to minimize interference with the cutting surface of the crest regions while maximizing osseointegration with the roughened surfaces on the root and flank regions.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a more typical trans-gingival implant 210 that differs from the implant 10 of FIG. 1 and the implant 110 of FIG. 2 in the details of the contours of the threads defining the exterior of the threaded bottom portion 220 .
- the implant 210 has a roughened portion 230 which is located on the root regions and portions of the flank regions of the implant 210 .
- the threads of the implant 210 are also in a helical pattern.
- the threads of the implant 210 have portions 235 of their crests truncated, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,902,109, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an implant 310 that includes two threadless regions 350 , 360 interspersed between multiple threaded regions 320 , 330 , 340 .
- the threaded regions 320 , 330 , 340 include threads in a helical pattern and are similar to the threaded regions, 20 , 120 , 220 described above with respect to FIGS. 1-3 in that the threaded regions 320 , 330 , 340 include roughened surfaces located on their root regions and portions of their flank regions.
- the threadless regions 350 , 360 also include roughened surfaces. As discussed above with respect to FIG. 1 , the roughened surfaces provide the implant 310 with a secondary level of stability to help secure the implant after installation. Because the threadless regions 350 , 360 lack threads with crests, the entirety of the threadless regions 350 , 360 can be roughened without requiring a relatively smoother crest area, as required by the implants of FIGS. 1-3 . Further, although the implants of FIGS. 1-3 have smooth self-tapping regions, in certain implementations, the root and flank regions of threads in the self-tapping region may be roughened to further increase implant stability, as shown in FIG. 4 . As shown in FIG. 4 , the crests of these threaded portions in the self-tapping region remain smooth.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a trans-gingival implant 410 that differs from the implant 10 of FIG. 1 in the details of the configuration of the thread 412 along the exterior of the threaded bottom portion and in the inclusion of a vertical groove 414 extending up the length of the implant 410 .
- the thread 412 has a larger lead compared to the leads illustrated in FIGS. 1-4 , which effectively increases the size of the root regions relative to the crest regions of the thread 412 .
- the implant 410 has more of its surface roughened compared to the implants shown in FIGS. 1-4 .
- the implant 410 has an extended vertical groove 414 compared to the implants of FIGS. 1-4 .
- the vertical groove 414 is roughened and further improves osseointegration to the implant 410 .
- FIG. 6 illustrates an abutment 420 configured to attach to both an implant (e.g., one of the implants illustrated in FIGS. 1-5 ) and to receive a tooth-shaped crown (not shown).
- the abutment 420 includes an upper portion 422 shaped to receive and securely attach to a dental crown that is typically porcelain. In other implementations, other shapes may be used for the upper portion.
- the abutment 420 also includes a lower portion 424 , which attaches to an implant through an internal socket (not shown) that would be non-rotationally coupled to an external anti-rotational feature of the implant, such as the hexagonal boss 14 on the implant 10 of FIG. 1 .
- a screw extends through the abutment 420 and engages the internal threads within the bore of the implant to axially secure the abutment 420 on the implant, as is well known in the art.
- the abutment 420 also includes threads 426 on the lower portion 424 , which are similar to the threaded portions of the implants described above with respect to FIGS. 1-5 .
- the threads 426 on the abutment 420 include roughened surfaces 428 in the root and flank regions of the threads 426 , while the crest regions of the threads 426 remain relatively smooth.
- the threads 426 on the abutment 420 are significantly smaller than the threads on the implants described above with respect to FIGS. 1-5 .
- the threads 426 and the roughened surfaces 428 help to promote gingival tissue attachment to the surface of the abutment 420 .
- implants according to the disclosed subject matter include at least one thread with portions of varying roughness.
- the thread can include one or more turns around the central axis of the implants, and each turn can include a root region, a flank region and a crest region.
- the root region of a turn in thread is located at a minor diameter with respect to the central axis of the implant while the crest region is located at a major diameter with respect to the central axis.
- the flank region serves as a transition region between the root and the crest regions.
- the root, flank and crest regions can have different shapes and can extend at different angles with respect to each other.
- FIGS. 7A-7C illustrate side views of the threaded portion of various implants with differently shaped roots according to the disclosed subject matter.
- Each of the threaded implant portions illustrated in FIGS. 7A-7C includes at least one root, flank, and crest.
- the threaded portion of FIG. 7A includes crests 510 a and roots 520 a , each with a flattened shape, and multiple flanks 530 a connecting the crests 510 a and roots 520 a .
- Each of the flanks 530 a has a length ‘L 1 ’, and a segment of each flank 530 a , each segment with a length ‘R 1 ’, has a roughened portion.
- the length of the roughened segment, R 1 can be chosen based on performance requirements and the geometry of a particular implant. For example, the length R 1 may be chosen to achieve an acceptable balance between the increased stability offered by the roughened portion and the increase in insertion torque required to install the implant.
- the roughened portion is on an inner section of each of the flanks 530 a relative to a central axis of the implant (central axis not shown). Further, an outer section of each of the flanks 530 a (relative to the central axis) has a surface similar to the crests 510 a , which is smoother relative to the roughened portion.
- the threaded portions of FIG. 7A include transition regions from the roughened portion to the relatively smoother portions of the flanks 530 a and crests 510 a .
- the transition region can optionally include a portion of varying roughness in the direction of the crest 510 a .
- the entire roughened portion can have a similar roughness.
- the threaded portion of FIG. 7B is similar to the threaded portion illustrated in FIG. 7A , but includes curved roots 520 b instead of flattened roots. Further, each of the flanks 530 b has a length ‘L 2 ’, and a segment of each flank 530 b has a roughened portion of length ‘R 2 ’ that is longer than ‘R 1 ’. Like the roughened portions described above with respect to FIG. 7A , each roughened portion illustrated in FIG. 7B is on an inner section of each of the flanks relative to a central axis of the implant (central axis not shown), and an outer section of each of the flanks (relative to the central axis) has roughness similar to the crests.
- the flattened crests 510 b of FIG. 7B are similar to the crests 510 a of FIG. 7A .
- the threaded portion of FIG. 7C is similar to the threaded portion illustrated in FIGS. 7A and 7B , but includes narrower angled roots 520 c instead of flattened or curved roots. Further, each of the flanks 530 c has a length ‘L 3 ’, and a segment of each flank 530 c has a roughened portion with a length ‘R 3 ’. Like the roughened portions described above with respect to FIGS. 7A and 7B , each roughened portion illustrated in FIG. 7C is on an inner section of each of the flanks relative to a central axis of the implant (central axis not shown), and an outer section of each of the flanks (relative to the central axis) has roughness similar to the crests. The crests 510 c of FIG. 7C are similar to the crests 510 a of FIG. 7A and the crests 510 b of FIG. 7B .
- FIGS. 8A-8C illustrate side views of the threaded portion of implants with differently shaped crests according to the disclosed subject matter.
- Each of the threaded implant portions illustrated in FIGS. 8A-8C includes at least one root, flank, and crest.
- the threaded portion of FIG. 8A includes crests 610 a and roots 620 a , each with a flattened shape, and multiple flanks 630 a connecting the crests 610 a and roots 620 a .
- Each of the flanks 630 a in the threaded portion of FIG. 8A has a length ‘L 4 ’, and a segment of each flank 630 a has a roughened portion with a length ‘R 4 ’.
- the roughened portion of the implant in FIG. 8A is on an inner section of each of the flanks 630 a relative to a central axis of the implant (central axis not shown). Further, an outer section of each of the flanks 630 a (relative to the central axis) has roughness similar to the crests 610 a.
- the threaded portion of FIG. 8B is similar to the threaded portion illustrated in FIG. 8A , but includes curved crests 610 b instead of flattened crests. Further, each of the flanks 630 b has a length ‘L 5 ’, and a segment of each flank 630 b has a roughened portion with a length ‘R 5 ’. Like the roughened portions described above with respect to FIG. 8A , each roughened portion illustrated in FIG.
- each of the flanks 630 b is on an inner section of each of the flanks 630 b relative to a central axis of the implant (central axis not shown), and an outer section of each of the flanks 630 b (relative to the central axis) has roughness similar to the crests 610 b .
- the roots 620 b of FIG. 8B are similar to the roots 620 a of FIG. 6A .
- the threaded portion of FIG. 8C is similar to the threaded portion illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B , but includes peaked crests 610 c instead of flattened or curved crests. Further, each of the flanks 630 c has a length ‘L 6 ’, and a segment of each flank 630 c has a roughened portion with a length ‘R 6 ’.

- the roots 620 c of FIG. 8C are similar to the roots 620 a of FIG. 8A and the roots 620 b of FIG. 8B .
- a nozzle 640 is placed between the root and crest regions of the threaded portion.
- the nozzle 640 is used to perform grit blasting on the threaded portion and to appropriately roughen the threaded portion's surface.
- the nozzle 640 can be guided by a laser or another optical or imaging device (not shown) that identifies the specific location of the nozzle 640 relative to the thread structure such that the blasting occurs between crest regions in a helical pattern along the root regions.
- the laser or imaging device can identify and track the locations of the crests of two adjacent turns of the thread to ensure that the nozzle 640 remains substantially at the midpoint between those two adjacent crests.
- a mask can be used to cover portions of the threaded portion in order to cover up areas that should not be treated or roughened.
- threaded implant portions as disclosed herein can have different shapes and sizes. More specifically, the flank regions connecting the root and the crest regions of the threaded portions can have different lengths and extend at different angles with respect to each other. Generally speaking the lengths of the flank regions range from 0.05 mm to 1 mm. In one preferred implementation, the length of the flank region is in the range from 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm. Further, in a preferred implementation, up to 95 percent of flank region can be roughened. In other implementations, the roughened portion makes up about 50% of the length of the flank region, in addition to the adjacent surface at the thread's root. In an implementation requiring less roughening, the roughened portion makes up about 25% of the length of the flank region, in addition to the adjacent surface at the thread's root. Other percentages of the flank region can roughened in other implementations.
- the roughened portions of threads according to the disclosed subject matter can be asymmetrical. That is, opposing flanks within a single turn of a thread can have roughened portions with different lengths. Additionally, the lengths of roughened portions within a thread can generally increase or decrease in a direction moving from the bottom of the thread towards the top of the thread. Portions of the implant that integrate with dense cortical bone can have increased roughness compared to portions of the implant that integrate with softer cancellous bone.
- elements of the implementations in FIGS. 7A-7C and FIGS. 8A-8C may be combined with each other in accordance with the described subject matter.
- different crest and root shapes as disclosed herein may be combined with each other as appropriate to form threads for implants as appropriate.
- crest and root shapes other than those depicted in FIGS. 7A-7C and FIGS. 8A-8C may be incorporated in certain implementations of the disclosed subject matter.
- flank shapes other than those depicted in FIGS. 7A-7C and FIGS. 8A-8C may be incorporated in other implementations of the disclosed subject matter.
- certain implementations may incorporate convex flanks, concave flanks, wavelike flanks, or any other appropriate flank shape.
- FIG. 9 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of forming an implant according to the disclosed subject matter.
- an implant having a threaded outer surface is provided. Each thread includes at least one turn around the implant, and each turn has at least one root, one flank, and one crest.
- the implant is comprised of titanium, a titanium alloy, or the like.
- the outer surface of the implant is treated such that only the root and a portion of the flank are roughened while the crest remains untreated.
- the crest may be lightly treated compared to the root and the portion of the flank.
- the crest may be lightly acid etched while the root and the portion of the flank are more heavily acid etched.
- only a portion of the length of the implant may be treated such that only some of the turns of the threads have roughened portions at their root regions.
- only a fraction of the turns (e.g., one half of the turns) of the threaded outer surface may be treated along the lower portion of the implant, while the remainder of the threaded outer surface remains untreated.
- Treating the outer surface at step 701 may include blasting the outer surface.
- the blasting can optionally be performed using a blast nozzle.
- the blast nozzle can be inserted in between adjacent crests of the implant in order to treat only the desired region or regions.
- the blasting may be performed along a helical locus of the outer surface.
- other treatment methods may be used.
- the surface may be acid etched to create a roughened surface on the desired roots and/or flanks of the implant's outer surface.
- the blast nozzle can blast different types of materials, and the different types of materials can have different particle sizes to produce different roughnesses on the outer surface of the implant.
- calcium phosphate particles can be used as a blast material to treat the outer surface of an implant.
- the calcium phosphate particles can range in size, for example, from 150-425 microns.
- other variables such as, for example, particle shape, particle hardness, particle flow rate, the size of the blast nozzle, the distance between the blast nozzle and the surface of the implant, the angle at which the nozzle is placed, and the type of gas used to accelerate the blasted materials can affect the roughness of the implant's outer surface.
- the outer surface of the implant can undergo a second optional treatment at step 702 .
- the further treatment can include treatment of the crest, flank and root regions with an acid etching treatment, which provides the outer surface of the implant with additional roughness.
- an acid etching treatment for example, in implementations where the implant is made of commercially pure titanium, a mixture including both hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid may be used to perform acid etching, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,857,987, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- a mixture including both hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid can be used to perform acid etching, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,251,700, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- the entire threaded region has some roughness, with the crest regions remaining relatively smooth compared to the root regions and portions of the flank regions.
- the surface roughness, Ra can be in the range of 0.7-1.6 microns along the root regions and flank regions that have been both grit-blasted and acid-etched, while the surface roughness, Ra, can be in the range of 0.3-0.7 microns along the crest regions that have been only acid-etched.
- the surface roughness, Ra is about 1.3 microns along the root regions and flank regions that have been both grit blasted and acid etched, while the surface roughness, Ra, is about 0.5 microns along the crest regions that have been only acid etched.
- the surface roughness is preferably measured via the inverse Fourier transform (IFFT) method.
